<p>Actually, many LACs are strong in only some subject areas, while being weak in others (weakness in math and physics, as evidenced by limited course selection, seems to be pretty common). A student who is undecided may want to check carefully to see whether a school (LAC or otherwise) is sufficient offerings in all of the subjects that s/he might major in, to avoid having to transfer out if s/he decides to major in something that the school is weak in.</p>
<p>The small size of most LACs tends to be a major attractor for some students who may not do as well in a 500 student freshman economics course or something like that.</p>
